When the eldest princess entered the palace, the wedding team also arrived in front of the Qin family's house, but was stopped again as expected.
Qin Yan and Song Chen stood on the opposite street together, watching from a distance those people confronting the Qin family guards.
Qin Yan only had one question: "Has the person been found?"
Once he found it, he was about to take action. He really couldn't wait any longer.
Song Chen didn't want to wait, but it wasn't the right time yet.
The door of the Hou Mansion is still closed. They don't care about the auspicious time. It doesn't matter what time it is. Unless the eldest princess has the ability to invite the emperor, they won't open the door at all.
Even if Song Chen prepares a substitute for his wife, he cannot easily let the Zhang family take her away.
A dead soldier appeared and whispered a message to Song Chen.
Song Chen turned around and told Qin Yan: "The mother and daughter of the Yue family have been rescued. Someone has already entered the princess's house. Wait a moment."
Still waiting! He was afraid that if he couldn't wait any longer, the old witch would already enter the palace. When he finally got the emperor, even if it was a substitute marriage, it wouldn't work.
Two quarters of an hour later, a guard came to Qin Yan and handed him two letters: "Master Marquis, we have robbed two letters."
Two letters were sent to Yuan Kai and Sun Huailin respectively. Before Qin Yan could read them, Song Chen spoke first: "We are ready to take action."
Written on this letter were the names of the two generals of the Southwest Road. They were the commanders of the eldest princess's troops, among whom Yuan Kai was also a subordinate of the eldest princess.
Qin Yan opened it and found that the contents of the two letters were almost the same, so he asked the two generals to act in advance according to the previous plan.
The folding fan in Song Chen's hand had its accessories changed today, and the noble jade on his body was replaced by a cold and solemn one: "Brother Qin is afraid that he will send troops early."
The eldest princess's troops were stated to be 200,000, but in fact they were more than 280,000. As early as last year, she began to arrange for the army to go to Fengyang, and gradually the number was more than 50,000.
A month ago, Yuan Kai and Sun Huailin had already started to organize their armies, and another 10,000 people arrived. When this letter comes out, they will each lead an army of 100,000 people to the north, approaching Fengyang.
Although they have intercepted these two secret letters, this is not the only channel for their communication and cannot be stopped at all.
Qin Yan is not afraid of fighting.
"Song Chen, protect my sister." If she is injured, Nanjin Jiangshan will definitely accompany her.
Qin Yan never thought that the country of the Southern Jin Dynasty was so great. The country and the imperial power were not as important as his sister.
"Definitely." How could Song Chen not agree? Even if Qin Yan didn't say anything, he would protect her. But he was afraid that he didn't say enough, so he added: "I will protect her with my life."
It is a promise and an oath.
There was no reluctance at all, this was what he was thinking.
Qin Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at him. He couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. The meaning was unclear. After a moment, he turned around and left.
Qin Yan did not return to the Qin Mansion. Today's follow-up work was left to Song Chen, who was leaving the city.
Before leaving, Song Chen had someone deliver a long bag containing the unconscious Duke Rong Guo.
Qin Yan wanted to kill him, but Song Chen's people stopped him and took him as a hostage.
Qin Yan didn't bother to use Rong Guogong to threaten the two generals. On the battlefield, he just fought.
But Song Chen sent it, so take it with you, maybe it will be used later.
In front of the gate of the Qin Mansion, the team welcoming the bride was still arguing with the gatekeepers. From wanting to go in to pick up the bride, to earnestly persuading them to send the bride out, it has now turned into yelling at them for not obeying the imperial edict and not keeping their word.
The guards of the Qin family are all soldiers. Qin Yan has always been cold and cruel. He doesn't have many prostitutes under his command. He also talks nonsense, but he can't curse people.
If you can't scold me, just stay silent. No matter how much you scold me, I won't say a word, but I won't let you get even one step closer.
Of course, it is not unprincipled to let them scold him. As long as the scolding is related to Qin Wanwan, then he will take action directly, beat him and throw it aside, until he can no longer scold him.
In addition, even if they scolded their master Hou bloody, they would not take action.
The Hou Mansion is still entangled, and the eldest princess went to the palace with a lot of information.
"Your Majesty, the Qin family has disrespected the imperial edict and has not allowed the daughter of the Qin family to go out. I still ask your Majesty to make a decision."
The words were quite polite, but the eldest princess's attitude was quite arrogant. She looked at Song Hao with her head held high. She had never taken her nephew who was already the emperor seriously.
If her imperial brother hadn't let down his guard, how would he have been able to become emperor?
"Auntie Huang, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that you have to ask me to go to the Qin family to pick you up?" Song Hao had a cold face, and the politeness on his face seemed false, and there was a rare hatred and killing in his eyes.
meaning.
Song Ying was proud. Seeing Song Hao like this, it was like seeing the young man who knelt in front of her and begged for mercy ten years ago.
You have always been a bitch, but you still think you can find her Wuzhi Mountain?
"If the emperor does this, I will be happy, but if not"
Song Ying took out a riding crop and patted it in her hand. Seeing Song Hao's body stiffen instantly, she laughed even more crazily: "I wonder if that delicate little baby can withstand my whip."
The pain of being whipped by her when he was young has been engraved in his buttocks. Now, just looking at the whip, Song Hao felt his soul trembling.
The abuse he suffered back then happened to his son again. He didn't dare to think that Song Rui was only three years old and would die if she was beaten with a whip.
"You dare!"
Song Hao already had the majesty of an emperor, but facing Song Ying at this moment, he looked like a trapped beast king, full of anger and hatred. He wanted to pounce on the person in front of him and tear him apart, but he couldn't break the cage and could only be trapped here.
.
"Do you think I dare?"
Song Ying was very satisfied with what she saw and swung her whip: "Now, please ask the emperor to let the Qin family send the bride out."
"Also, my consort is missing. Your Majesty should know where it is. I will see someone in an hour."
He waved to the Minister of Rites next to him, and the other party immediately expressed that he understood and would keep an eye on the emperor to let Song Ying achieve her goal.
Song Ying achieved her goal and left with Prince Zhong and others. She called these people mainly because she was still afraid of death. Song Hao wanted to kill her for more than a day or two. Naturally, she had to bring more people with her when she entered the palace, so that Song Hao would not
Dare to take action.
As soon as Song Ying and others left, the dishonest Minister of Rites who was left behind suddenly knelt on his knees and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me."
The demeanor of Zhong Wujunshang who had just been following Song Ying changed instantly, and he knelt on the ground in fear.
The Minister of Rites was obviously a double-faced minister, but Song Ying did not know it.
Song Hao asked: "Is there any news?"
The Minister of Rites shook his head quickly: "No, the secret passages and dungeons of the Princess Mansion are guarded by guards and dead men. Except for those few, no one is allowed to approach. There is really no way."
Apparently there was Song Hao's spy in the Princess Mansion. Unfortunately, the eldest princess was moody and killed people for fun. It was easy to send the spy in, but he was thrown out after a short time, either dead or disabled.
There was no chance to explore the princess mansion, let alone the secrets.
